1: General Information Format of the Creature Descriptions The creatures are presented in the common BRP format. The average values of the characteristics are indicated and are used as the basis for calculating the derived values (Hit Points, Magic Points, etc). Skills indicated are only suggestions, corresponding to an “ordinary” individual. Of course, more or less capable individuals will exist. Weapons and armor are also provided as suggestions. The creatures are classified into three categories: •

•

Animals: This category covers beings known to be living on Earth at the present time. Fantastic Creatures: This category covers many

creatures common to fantasy-medieval RPGs, and includes dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts. •

Humanoids: This category covers creatures

suitable for incarnation as Player Characters. Their skills are not explicitly detailed because the skill lists and bases vary among BaSIC , Call of Cthulhu, and RuneQuest. On the other hand, some preferred skills are indicated in brackets by way of suggestion. Some abbreviations used, in addition to the usual abbreviations for characteristics: HP Hit Points MP Magic Points DB Damage Bonus ½DB One Half Damage Bonus MOV MOVement VIR VIRule VIRulence nce (also (also called called POTenc POTencyy in Call of Cthulhu)

A BaSIC Bestiary There’s little point in rolling more than 3D6 to determine the CON of a creature. Note that at a certain point, the CON of an animal corresponds more or less to half its SIZ. Certain creatures do not have a CON score. These are beings having no real metabolism, such as golems. A creature without CON is immune to poison, diseases, and to other effects affecting CON. Such creatures never grow fatigued. If the creature possesses Hit Points, they will generally be calculated from its SIZ. To “heal” (actually repair ) a creature without CON (i.e. to give it back lost Hit Points), it is generally necessary to use an appropriate Craft skill rather than First Aid, and to use spells of Repair rather than spells of Healing. Creatures of this type are often immune to certain types of damage (such as that caused by firearms). Specifics are provided in the individual creature description. Comparative Scale of SIZ Creature

In any event, the characteristics are not linear: a creature having a SIZ of 40 is much more massive than two creatures of SIZ 20. Furthermore, 6D6 takes a long time to roll and add. Creatures without SIZ have no physical body, and are generally immune to physical damage. Generally, they cannot inflict any damage either. Don't forget that the SIZ of a creature is a function of its mass/weight, and not its length or volume! Appendix A includes a table correlating SIZ and mass/weight. Also don't forget that, in the most games related to BaSIC, very large or very small SIZ can influence other factors, such as attack rolls. Comparative Scale of INT Creature

Tolkienesqe Elf 3D6+6 16-17 There’s little point in rolling more than 3D6 to determine the INT of a creature.INT scores higher than 30 should probably be reserved for creatures possessing knowledge inaccessible to humans. Any being able to perceive its environment and act in consequence to that perception has INT, even if very limited. However, a score on INT is not specified for many creatures of this bestiary. These creatures can be considered to react primarily on instinct and to lack any sort of real intelligence or ability to reason. As such they cannot speak or use magic, unless such abilities are innate. The game RuneQuest provides a scale of INT for this type of creature, in the form of “Fixed INT”. Refer to that if desired.

POW scores higher than about 30 should be reserved for entities possessing high levels extreme/massive/overwhelming/disproportionate [démesurée] of magic ability. All living creatures have POW. Non-living beings [Les êtres “non-vivants”], such as Undead [morts-vivants], do not have a soul, and hence have no true POW score. If such creatures possess a POW score, it is “incomplete” and does not allow them to regenerate Magic Points (MP) in the normal fashion. On the other hand, such beings typically have some sort of special ability which enables them to steal MP from the world of the living (e.g. a vampire receives MP from drinking the blood of its victim). Their “POW” score reflects the maximum number of MP they can acquire in this fashion. Comparative Scale of DEX Creature

A creature without of DEX cannot move itself. It cannot use Agility, Stealth, or Manipulation skills. All the creatures of this bestiary have a Dodge skill of DEX × 2%. If another number is indicated among their skills, use that or use DEX × 2%, whichever score is higher. Comparative Scale of APP Creature

APP scores higher than about 30 should probably be reserved for beings of transcendent beauty. Any creature perceptible using a physical sense has an APP score, even if one is not indicated. By default, consider that the APP of a creature to be 3D6. Appearance is a relative concept: a troll with 18 in APP will appear very beautiful in the eyes of other trolls, but it will still be ugly to a human. Certain creatures are so ugly that they have an APP of 0. This is the case for the majority of undead, such as zombies or ghouls. Comparative Scale of MOV Creature

Hobbit 6 Human 8 Wolf 10 Horse 12 Raven 14 Eagle 16 Calculating the Armor of a Creature In this bestiary, a creature’s armor rating is not determined arbitrarily, it depend on two factors:

2 4

Thick Leather Solid Wood

Shark Skin Crocodile Scales, Rhinoceros Skin 6 Solid Stone Turtle Scales 8 Solid Metal Dragon Scales • This information might be useful to a blacksmith character wishing to create armor from the skin or scales of a monster. • If the body of a creature is composed entirely of solid matter (as in the case of a golem or treeman), double the corresponding value. 2. The seco second nd facto factorr corres correspon ponds ds to the the number number of D6 of Damage Bonus for the type of creature. In effect, very large creatures are insensitive to weaker blows [damage les plus faibles]. Thus, a blow from a sword will have as little relative effect on a brontosaurus as a cat scratch has on a human. For example, a rhinoceros gets 4 points for its thick skin and 5 points for its average Damage Bonus which is 5D6, yielding 9 points of armor altogether. This total is valid for all representatives of the species, even those with a Damage Bonus other than average. Note that this is (more or less) the method implicitly followed by the creators of RuneQuest and of the Call of  Cthulhu. If your game setting uses a die roll to determine armor value (e.g. Stormbringer or Hawkmoon), subtract 1 from the armor value, then refer to the Table of Demon Abilities or the Table of Chaotic Mutations to obtain the dice to be rolled. For example, our rhinoceros will have an armor of 1D10+1D6.

Creature Attack Modes Some creatures have several modes of attack (like Scratch and Bite). In the absence of information to the contrary, they can use one of these attacks in a combat round. If a creature has more than one attack per round, these attacks will normally be separated by 5 DEX ranks if you play Stormbringer/Elric! or Hawkmoon, or by 3 Strike Ranks (SR) if you play RuneQuest. Again in the absence of information to the contrary, the attacks may be directed against different adversaries as well as against only one.

1. First First is the the type type of skin skin the the creatu creature re posses possesses. ses. This This is is determined using the following table.

Below is a table showing a creature's basic Damage. Note that it is not particularly useful to make the basic damage very high; the Damage Bonus increases sufficiently quickly.

Type of Protection

A BaSIC Bestiary 1D8 Wolf Bite 1D10 Tiger Bite 2D6 Crocodile or Shark Bite 3D6 Dragon or Enormous Shark Bite If you use this type of rule, you may say that Bite attacks do not cause knockback/inflict any retreat [n'infligent aucun recul]. On the other hand, a monster’s Bite attack inflicting more damage than the victim's SIZ score can allow the monster to swallow the victim whole [gober celle-ci], provided he is killed by the blow and the monster is sufficiently large Translator’s note: Why must the victim be killed by the blow?

Some attacks include injecting a poison. This will only occur if the corresponding attack penetrates armor, i.e. if at least 1 HP of damage is done to the target. Poisons seldom act instantaneously. There is a one minute minimum delay between the time of injection and when the poison takes full effect. During the interim the victim may take an antidote if he has one available. “Sweep Attacks”, like the Tail Strike of a brontosaurus, allow striking all adversaries within a 120° arc around the creature with a single blow. Moreover, the creature does suffer any penalty to its attack roll due to large SIZ, if you use this type of rule. A “knock down” attack is possible by opposing the STR of the creature against the STR or the SIZ (whichever is higher; quadrupeds resist as if they possess +4 points of STR) of its target on the Resistance Table. If successful, the attack unbalances the target and it must make a successful roll under DEX × 5 not to fall over. A monster can trample an adversary only if its SIZ is at least 10 points greater than that of its target. Moreover, the adversary must be on the ground. A Trample attack cannot be parried, but dodging remains effective.

2: Animals Baboon

Bison

These large monkeys live in bands organized around a group of dominant males. They will rarely engage in combat and always prefer to flee in the face of danger. They eat small animals, roots, and fruit.

These animals live in herds sometimes comprised of hundreds of individual animals. The males are aggressive and do not hesitate to charge.

Pig, Wild (Wild Boar)

The ostrich is the largest bird in the world. A healthy adult can weigh more than 150 kg (330lbs). Contrary to legend; an ostrich flees when threatened and does not insert its head in the sand. If one were ever to do so, it would be checking on the status of its eggs or protecting them from rodents.

These animals are very common in certain parts of the world. They are usually rather shy, but females will vigorously defend their young.

1. During During a combat combat roun round, d, a blob blob can can atta attack ck using using either its pseudopods, or by absorbing its victims. To absorb an adversary, all the blob needs is to approach the victim (automatic success). A blob can absorb several victims, provided that the sum of their SIZ scores is lower than the SIZ of the blob, and they are all along its current path (for example, a blob cannot simultaneously absorb an adversary on one side of a room and another on the opposite side). It is possible to Dodge this attack but parrying is useless. An absorbed victim takes 6 Hit Points of damage per round due to the acid secreted by the blob. Armor protects only for the first round, and is dissolved if not made entirely of metal. To escape, the victim must succeed in a challenge of STR vs. the STR of the blob on the Resistance Table. 2. (Option (Optional) al) If If the blob blob choo chooses ses not not to move move (and (and thus thus not absorb a victim within the current round), it can instead attack using pseudopods.

Giant  Young giants resemble sturdy, robust humans, but they grow enormous with the passage of time. After centuries

of life they can reach the impressive height of 16 meters (53ft). The older a giant gets, the more time they spend sleeping. An old giant might sleep for decades at a time. While asleep for so long vegetation can grow over the sleeping giant to a point where it can easily be mistaken for a hill. When a giant awakens, it is extremely hungry as a result of its long fast while asleep [qu'il est resté longtemps endormi]. Giants are not especially aggressive towards humans, but their appetites are so great that they will sometimes devour cattle or even those who refuse to bring them something to eat.

Creation: To create a golem, a wizard must first

manufacture its body using an appropriate Craft skill, such as Craft [Embalming], Craft [Sculpture] or Craft [Smithing]. The creator may call upon an outside craftsman [faire appel à une tierce personne maitrisant cet artisanat] to initially construct the golem’s body or to restore and repair the body of a damaged golem. Constructing the body of a golem requires 8 hours of work per point of SIZ. The wizard then must perform a week long ritual; at the end of which he casts the necessary spell. The wizard then sacrifices a number of points of permanent POW which varies according to the type and SIZ of the golem. One point of POW is needed for each four points of armor possessed by the material of which the golem is constructed. Golem Material

Fire and heat have normal effect on flesh and wood golems; metal and stone golems are immune to fire and heat, unless it reaches the melting point of the constituent material, at which point they are instantly and permanently destroyed (they melt!). In terms of HP, a golem’s melting point is 12D6 for stone and 8D6 for most metals.

The upper body of this monster is like that of a human woman; but its lower body resembles that of an enormous serpent, and its hair is composed of small poisonous snakes.

Characteristics : Char. Roll

4. (Optional) Every golem has a rune engraved somewhere on its body. This rune is the focus of the enchantment which animates the golem. If the rune is damaged, the golem loses its animation. To deactivate a golem by marring its animating rune, it is first necessary to locate the rune using a Search roll at -20% (no roll needed if the location is already known). Then a critical hit, aiming at the rune’s location is needed. Finally, the attack must inflict at least 1 point of damage to the golem. Translator’s Note: seems like a penalty to hit should be requ requir ired ed for for stri striki king ng a rela relati tive vely ly smal smalll loca locati tion on that that  precisely.

To avoid meeting the gaze when fighting a gorgon, a successful roll under POW × 3 each round is needed. To avoid inadvertently meeting the creature’s gaze upon encountering the creature, a roll under POW × 5 is sufficient. The surest means of avoiding the gaze is to keep one’s eyes closed (using the rules for combat with an invisible adversary or actions in total darkness). The gaze acts as a 6 MP spell with regard to magical defenses. 2.

Lycanthrope Lycanthropes are people able to transform themselves into animal form because they are infected by a magical disease: lycanthropy. They can also take to an intermediate half-human/half-animal form, which is useful to them generally for combat. To shift from one form to another costs 1 MP and takes a full combat round to complete, during which time the lycanthrope cannot do anything else.

Lycanthropy is a disease which is generally transmitted by the bite of a lycanthrope, in animal or intermediate form. Its VIR equal to the unmodified CON of the creature. There are different forms of lycanthropy corresponding to various animal species. It is not possible to be infected with two different forms of lycanthropy at the same time; one cannot be both a werebear and a werewolf. Translator’s Note: should the first or most recent infection take precedence?

In intermediate form, the lycanthropes regenerate 1 HP per round, except if the damage was inflicted using a silver or magic weapon. Fire can also serve as an effective counter, because it causes damage more quickly than they can regenerate. A lycanthrope does not regenerate once it has died. Whatever form it’s in, a lycanthrope retains its POW score. When it is not in human form, its INT is divided by two and it can no longer speak. In animal form, a lycanthrope will have the physical characteristics of an average representative of the species of the animal form it takes. The characteristics of the intermediate form are those of human, but with the following modifications:  Werewolf: Attribute

The giant spider weaves its web among the trunks of trees or between the walls of a cave. The strands of the web are very fine, but a successful roll on a visual skill will permit noticing it. The webbing is also very strong, having a STR equal to the CON of the spider. The spider itself hides hides among the leaves and foliage of the trees or behind rocks in a cave. It emerges silently to surprise victims caught in its web or who imprudently halt to examine or disturb it. It then tries to paralyze them using its venom or entrap them in sticky silk. In areas with abundant traffic, it’s been known for giant spiders to work together to capture more prey. The spider described here has a size of almost two meters (6ft).

A victim taken in the webbing cannot move, and thus cannot attack or cast spells. It is possible to keep an arm free by making a successful roll under DEX × 3 just before the webbing hits. To escape the web of a giant spider, a victim must succeed in a Resistance Table roll of the victim’s STR vs. the STR of the silk, which is equal to the CON of the spider. It is also possible to cut the fibers using a sharp implement. The Hit Points of the web are equal to its STR. However, weapons striking the web become stuck in it. Flaming weapons do not stick to the web. The webbing is not flammable, but heat will disintegrate it and fire inflicts normal damage. Habitat: Dense Forests, Subterranean.

The tongue inflicts no damage on its own, but winds around the victim and sticks. The toad then can immediately attempt a contest of its STR vs. the SIZ of the victim to swallow it. If the test succeeds, the victim is immediately deposited into the toad’s stomach, where digestive acids cause 6 points of damage per round. Armor protects only for the first round, and is thereafter dissolved if it is not made of metal. The victim can attempt to escape by cutting open the toad from inside with the assistance of a short edged weapon, such as a dagger or the claws of an animal.

Vampire

•

Contradictory stories regarding vampires abound, it therefore falls to the GM to sort out truth from legend. Here are some suggestions: •

•

•

A vampire does not cast a shadow and does not reflect in a mirror. Photographic film does not record its image. During daylight, vampires must rest in a bed of soil from their original burial place. If they do not, their daily loss of MP amounts 1D6 instead of a single point. A vampire cannot tolerate the odor of garlic. It must make a successful roll under POW × 5 each round where it is within three meters (10ft) or less of a clove of fresh garlic. If it fails the roll, it must move away.

The third bite of a vampire is always fatal and automatically transforms the victim into a vampire. Whoever drinks the blood of a vampire becomes its slave for eternity. Vampires lose all their powers during the day. Though retain their doubled STR. Daylight burns vampires. They lose 1 HP per hour, per minute or even per round if they are exposed. vampire can metamorphose into the form of a wolf or a bat. Its SIZ and DEX become those of an average representative of the species into which it transforms, though the STR is twice normal. On the other hand, its HP do not change. Some vampires can also change into a mist. Their STR then becomes 0, but they are immune to physical damage. To pass from one form to another takes one whole round and costs1 MP. Α

It is strictly forbidden for a vampire to cross above a body of running water, such as a sea or river. It is also forbidden to enter a house without being invited [Il leur est aussi strictement interdit de rentrer chez quelqu'un sans avoir été invité].A vampire who ignores these prohibitions (the villain!) loses 2D6 MP immediately. A person brandishing a cross before a vampire can oppose his or her POW to that of the monster. If successful, the vampire is unable to approach it. Holy water burns vampires like acid. A flask of holy water inflicts 1D6 HP. Immersion in a holy water basin will cause 3D6 HP per round. The vampires are incredibly seductive. When a vampire looks a person in the eyes, it can oppose its APP vs. the POW of the victim. If it succeeds in the challenge, the person will be charmed and will refuse to harm or permit harm to come to the vampire.The effects of this charm wear off after one day. A stake driven into the chest of a vampire through the heart will neutralize the creature instantaneously. Such a result will occur in combat only if a major wound from a critical strike is made with a piercing weapon. Nothing remains to do but definitively to slay the vampire by cutting its head off.

The vampire can then drink the blood of the bitten victim, draining the vampire’s DM (minimum of 1D3) in points of STR per round. The vampire receives 1 MP per 3 points STR consumed. If the victim falls to 0 STR, he or she dies. If not, the victim will recover lost STR at one point per day of rest.

Wargs are enormous wolves with black fur. They are highly intelligent and will sometimes ally with evil creatures such as orcs or goblins. A warg can carry a rider on its back. The SIZ of the rider must be less than [the sum of?] the SIZ and the STR of the warg.[La SIZ du cavalier doit toutefois être inférieure à la SIZ et la STR du ouargue].

Zombie Zombies are corpses animated by a powerful enchantment. They cannot speak but only groan [grogner], their vocal cords being irretrievably atrophied [abimées]. They retain the memories and experiences of their previous life but their mental faculties are seriously eroded. In game terms, their INT, DEX, MOV and all skills are divided by two. Sometimes, zombies do not even realize that they are dead and they continue in their daily activities as if nothing has changed. The problem is that everything becomes too fast and complex for their limited capacities, which is sometimes funny, sometimes tragic [dramatique]. For example, a musician zombie will not realize what it plays is only a series of random notes. In the same way, a bodyguard zombie will assume the close protection of a cow or a traffic sign. Some sorcerers create zombies to serve as slaves, because they are much more docile than living ones. On the other hand, they are also less reliable. Characteristics: Char. Roll
